Most people give little thought to the pens they write with, especially since the printers in modern homes and offices mean that very 1 things are handwritten. All too often，people buy a pen based only on 2 , and wonder why they are not satisfied once they begin to use it. However，buying a pen that you'll enjoy is not 3 if you keep the following in mind.First of all, a pen should fit 4 in your hand and be easy to use. The thickness of the pen is the most important characteristic 5 comfort. Having a small hand and thick fingers, you may be comfortable with a thin pen. If you have a 6 hand and thicker fingers, you may 7 a fatter pen. The length of a pen can also influence comfort. A pen that is too 8 can easily feel top-heavy and unstable.Then, the writing point of the pen should 9 the ink to flow evenly(均匀地) while the pen remains in touch with the paper. This will make it possible for you to create a 10 line of writing. The point should also be sensitive enough to 11 ink from running when the pen is lifted. A point that does not block the 12 may leave drops of ink，as you pick the pen up and put it down again.13 , the pen should make a thick，dark line. Fine-line pens may make up for 14 handwriting, but fine(very thin or narrow), delicate lines do not attract 15 next to printed text, as, for example, a signature on a printed letter. A broader line, on the other hand, gives an impression of confidence and authority．1．A. many B．few C．pleasant D．important2．A. looks B．reason C．value D．advantages3．A. convenient B．practical C．strange D．difficult4．A. carefully B．comfortably C．hard D．safely5．A. taking B．finding C．determining D．seeking6．A. stronger B．weaker C．smaller D．larger7．A. prefer B．recommend C．prepare D．demand8．A. thick B．light C．long D．soft9．A. change B．allow C．reduce D．press10．A .thin B．rough C．black D．smooth11．A. prevent B．free C．protect D．remove12．A. way B．sight C．flow D．stream13．A.

She lives in Boston, Massachusetts, in U. S. Last Thursday, she didn't go to school. She went to work with her father instead. Every year, on the fourth Thursday in April, millions of young girls go to work. This is Take Our Daughters to Work Day. The girls are between the ages of 9 and 15. They spend the day at work with an adult, usually a mother, father, aunt, or uncle. They go to offices, police stations, laboratories, and other places where their parents or other family members work. Next year, the day will include sons, too.The Ms. Foundation, an organization for women, started the program about ten years ago. In the U.S., many women work outside the home. The Ms. Foundation wanted girls to find out about many different kinds of jobs. Then, when the girls grow up, they can choose a job they like.Cara's father is a film director. Ca ra says, “It was very exciting for me to go to the studio with my dad. I saw a lot of people doing different jobs.” Many businesses have special activities for girls on this day. Last year, Cara went to work with her aunt at the University of Massachusetts. In the engineering department, the girls learned to build a bridge with toothpicks and candy. In the chemistry department, they learned to use scales. They learned about many other kinds of jobs, too.Right now, Cara does not know what job she will have when she grows up. But because of Take Our Daughters to Work Day, she knows she has many choices.36. What is Cara's father?A. An engineer.B. An official.C. A moviemaker.D. A professor.37. According to the passage, Take Our Daughters to Work Day is ______.A. on every Thursday in AprilB. a holiday for girls of all agesC. a day for girls to know about jobsD. a day for girls to get a job easily38. On this special day, Cara has done all the following EXCEPT that ____.A. she learned to use scalesB. she worked as an actressC. she went to work with her auntD. she used toothpicks and candy to build a bridge39. What is probably the best title for the passage?A. Cara Lang, a Fortunate GirlB. Take Our Daughters to Work DayC. Children's Day and Work DayD. Ms. Foundation, an Organization for Women40. Which of the following statements is true?A. Girls can go to work with their friends as well as parents.B. Take Our Daughters to Work Day is for girls for the time being.C. Now girls know what job they will have because of the Take Our Daughters to Work Day.D. Boys have no trouble deciding on their future jobs.BWithout proper planning, tourism can cause problems. For example, too many tourists can crowd public places that are also enjoyed by the inhabitants of a country. If tourists create too much traffic, the inhabitants become annoyed and unhappy. They begin to dislike tourists and to treat them impolitely. They forget how much tourism can help the country’s economy. It is important to think about the people of a destination country and how tourism affects them. Tourism should help a country keep the customs and beauty that attract tourists. Tourism should also advance the wealth and happiness of local inhabitants.Too much tourism can be a problem. If tourism grows too quickly, people must leave other jobs to work in the tourism industry. This means that other parts of the country’s economy can suffer.On the other hand, if there is not enough tourism, people can lose jobs. Businesses can also lose money. It costs a great deal of money to build large hotels, airports, air terminals, first-class roads, and other supportfacilities(配套设施) needed by tourist attractions. For example, a major international class tourism hotel can cost as much as 50 thousand dollars per room to build. If this room is not used most of the time, the owners of the hotel lose money.Building a hotel is just a beginning. There must be many support facilities as well, including roads to get to the hotel, electricity, sewers(下水道) to handle waste, and water. All of these support facilities cost money. If they are not used because there are not enough tourists, jobs and money are lost.41. Which of the following do you think has been discussed in the part before this passage?A. It is extremely important to develop tourism.B. Building roads and hotels is essential.C. Support facilities are highly necessary.D. planning is of great importance to tourism.42. The underlined word “inhabitants”(in Paragraph I) probably means “_____”A. touristsB. passengersC. populationD. local people43. Too much tourism can cause all these problems EXCEPT ______.A. a bad effect on other industriesB. a change of tourist’s customsC. over-crowdedness of the places of interestD. pressure on traffic44. It can be inferred from the passage that ____.A. the author doesn’t like tourism developing so fastB. local people will benefit from tourist attractionC. other parts of a country’s economy won’t benefit from tourism muchD. we can’t build too many support facilities.45. The author thinks it is good for local people to know that tourism will ____.A. waste a lot of moneyB. weaken their economyC. help establish their customsD. help improve their lifeCA large number of women in Western European countries wish that they were born men. The number is said as high as 60% in West Germany.“Women often wish that they had the same chance as men have, and believe it is still men’s world,” said DrJames Holden, one of the scientists who did the study.Anne Harper has a very good job for an international oil company. She also believes in “Women’ s Liberation(解放)”.“I don’t wish that I were a man,” she says, “and I don’t think many women do. Bu t I do wish that people would stop looking down upon us women. At work, for example, we often do the work that men do but get paid less. There are still a lot of jobs that are usually the best ones and open only to men.

Roughly a third of that is absorbed by the oceans, where the gas undergoes chemical reactions that produce carbonic acid, which is corrosive(腐蚀性的) to shells.The pH scale, which measures the concentration(浓度) of hydrogen ions(离子), runs from 1, the most acidic and highest concentration of ions, to 14, the most alkaline(碱性的), with almost no ions. Ocean water today is somewhat alkaline, at 8.1, about 0.1 lower than at the start of the Industrial Revolution two centuries ago. But like the magnitude scale of earthquakes, one unit on the pH scale reflects a change of a factor of 10. The 0.1 pH change means there are now 30 percent more hydrogen ions in the water.Depending on the rate of fossil fuel burning, the pH of ocean water near the surface is expected to drop from below 7.7 by 2100, lower than any time in the last 400 years, the Royal Society report said.But Dr. Ken Caldera, a research scientist at the Carnegie Institution’s Department of Global Ecology in Stanford, Calif. and a member of the Royal Society panel, said that the current carbon dioxide release was occurring quickly, over just two centuries. In the past, water from the deeper ocean would have had time to mix, diluting(稀释，冲淡) the effect of the carbon dioxide.The pH change is likely to slow the rate of growth of coral reefs, which are already suffering from warmer temperatures and pollution, the report said. The increased acidity could also reduce populations of plankton(浮游生物) with calcium carbonate shells, disrupting the food chain and hurting fisheries.51. The passage is mainly about the fact that ____________.A. carbon dioxide does not affect global warmingB. ocean is suffering from the carbon dioxide’s invasionC. carbon dioxide does not contribute to the ocean’s acidic changeD. cars and power plants are the main source of carbon dioxide52. What can we learn from the fifth paragraph?A. In the pH scale, 1 refers to the latest acidic.B. The ocean still keeps very acidic.C. Compared to the time of Industrial Revolution, the ocean now is having 30 percent more hydrogen ions.D. The ocean two centuries ago was quite acidic.53. According to the passage, which one does NOT contribute to the slow growth of coral reefs?A. The warmer temperatures.B. The air pollution.C. The acidity.D. The food chain behavior.54. Compared to the forecast of global warming, what is the research of carbon dioxide like?A. It is easier to acquire data.B. It needs more time to finish a research.C. It requires more people to do such work.D. It is based on lots of computer models.55. According to the passage, what is the author’s attitude to the carbon acidity?A. Anxious.B. Not clear.C. Optimistic.D. Pessimistic.第二节信息匹配（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下列应用文及相关信息，并按照要求匹配信息。

You have waited 45 minutes for the valuable 10 minutes’ break between classes. B ut when the bell for the next class rings, you can 1 believe how fast time has passed. If you are 2 with this scene, you’ll know how time flies when you are having fun and 3 when you are bored. Now scientists have come up with a reason why this is the case.Scans have shown that patterns of activity in the brain 4 according to how we focus on a task. When our time is occupied with 5 things, we concentrate more on how time is passing, which makes our brains think the clock is ticking more slowly.In an experiment 6 by a French laboratory, 12 volunteers watched an image while researchers 7 their brain activity. The volunteers were told to first concentrate on how long a(an)8 stayed on the screen, then focus on the color of the image, and thirdly, study both the 9of time and color.The results showed that the brain was 10 when the volunteers paid attention to more subjects. It is thought that if the brain is 11 , focusing on many aspects of a task, it has to spread its resources, and pays less attention to the clock. Therefore, time passes without us really 12 it, and seems to go quickly. If the brain is not so active, it devotes all its energies to monitoring the 13of time, 14 creating the impression that time is dragging.Next time you feel 15 in class, perhaps you should pay more attention to what theteacher is saying!1.
